2012 Race Calendar

Last week was rather easy in comparison to the week before. Clocked around 8 hours of training, but then I have had a visitor and snow fell over the weekend. I am trying to keep consistent, but finding that an easy week followed by a much harder week works better for me and my recovery.
Managed a 3.5km run yesterday (on the treadmill) so I am slowly building it back up. I don't want to aim too fast, although anything under 25 minutes for a 5km at the end of a triathlon will be good, especially in my first triathlon of the year. (It would also be a PB for a 5km at the end of a tri!)
I have tried to space out the races I want to do, as well as pick and choose the ones which will give me the best chance of qualifying.
The following races are ones I have already entered or plan on entering very soon:-

• Sunday 22nd April - Lincoln Pool Sprint Triathlon 400m/20/5
• Saturday 28th April - Rutland CiCLE Event, either 100miles or 54 miles
• Sunday 13th May - Grendon Sprint Triathlon (Worlds 2012 Qualifier) 750m/20/5
• Sunday 27th May - Nantwich Pool Sprint Triathlon 400m/20/5
• Saturday 16th June - Dambuster Olympic Triathlon (Worlds 2012 Qualifier)1500m/40/10
• Saturday 30th June - Deva Divas Triathlon Sprint Relay Event (Swim only)  750m
• Sunday 1st July - Deva Olympic Triathlon (Worlds 2012 Qualifier) 1500m/40/10
• Sunday 15th July - Bristol Sprint Triathlon (Worlds 2012 Qualifier) 750m/20/5
• 25th/26th BH Weekend August National Club Relays  500m/15/5
• Sunday 23rd September - London Olympic Triathlon 1500m/40/10
• Worlds NZ 17-23rd October  (If I qualify!)

I have given myself a few chances to qualify, however it will be expensive and a whole 2 weeks out of work so I have to really give myself plenty of time to save up!
I really want to do this this year, and the hard work and training has already started.
I also hope to make it to London on the 7th August to watch the Men's Triathlon Olympic event. It will be AMAZING!
